• Windows Media Player, not able to play the media file online

  Windows media player

  When I try to play videos online, my Windows media player opens and I see the circle goes round & round, can be buffered, but nothing comes out, no picture or sound.

  Hi frank questions,.

  1. where you can read online videos using Windows media player earlier?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. it happens with all the videos online?

  4. What is the type of internet connection you use?

  It's the first time you try to play online videos if due to an internet connection slow or installed on the computer security software.

  I'd say temporary you disable the security software on the computer and check if it works.

• Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

  We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

  I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  Nolan

  (Moved to programs)

  Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

  Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

  But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

• Windows Media player 12 will not update DRM

  Hello

  I use my local library's digital download service. I tried to download a digital book... and he tells me that I need to improve my 25.00.0 to 25.00.1 DRM... or something like that.

  Then I followed the instructions of programs... no upgrade

  So I tried the link to Microsoft, they provided for use in Internet Explorer... There is a button to upgrade, but it turns so it can be pressed.

  Then I went into Media Player and looked to see if it had to be upgraded... says that it is fully upgraded.

  Ok... I'm fresh out of ideas... anyone else have an idea?

  Thank you

• Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

  These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message you get?
  2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?
  3. do you have an error message when Internet Explorer throws you off the screen?
  4. you remember the update that caused the problem to occur?

  Follow the steps in this article and see if the problem still occurs.
